The Seed
This is an Easter Oratorio, written in a ‘Praise and Worship’ setting. It is a 20 minute through-composed song, derived from an analogy of Jesus coming to earth as a seed, dying in the ground and resurrecting to new life, ultimately producing fruit for harvest as God’s Kingdom expands throughout the world.
This was a substantial stretch for our group at the time. I was glad to have obtained a live recording of the work.
When Jesus hung on that cross, He declared '“It is finished!” That means all of our sins, separation from God, and eternal judgement were taken away. We now have peace with God because of His sacrifice, His willingness to pay it all.
As Jesus carried His cross, the awkwardness and humiliation of facing crucifixion, He did it for us, knowing He would purchase us from our sin and bring us into His family. He gave His life, laying down all privileges, so we could see Heaven. He faced hell in a way no one else could, so we could gain eternal life.
It was actually in the Garden that Jesus won the victory internally before going to the cross. He found the strength in prayer to head toward the cross, being separated from His Father for the first time. He had courage to face the humiliation and pain of crucifixion, knowing the joy that would soon follow in resurrection.
